Nice to see Tony playing well, but he's done it against 2 of the worst defensive teams in the league + a really mediocre Bulls team(missing 2 of their 3 best defensive players)..he's still the same player that had one of the worst playoff runs in championship history last year.

exactly, but people were acting like KAwhi alone could replace the big 3. Theres nothing wrong to say that Tony parker will suck in some matchups. There is nothing wrong with expecting Kawhi to play his game. But any game PArker can take over and make life easier for guys like Duncan (no show) Kawhi (played his game, didn't have to force it), is good.


Stop moving the goalposts. Winning against shitty teams is winning. Having a multiple talented offense is a championship prerequisite.

[Malik Hairston]

2014 Parker was one of 5 starting PGs in the history of the NBA to have a negative +/- number on a title team, along with 2003 Parker, 2005 Parker, 2009 Derek Fisher and somebody else I forgot..

Doesnt matter what teams you do it to. Confidence is a crazy thing to bottle up and contain. Unfortunately 90% of fans do not understand how important the mental aspect of the game is.

[Hoops Czar]

Will Tony Parker ever score 30 points in a single game again?

Question answered!

[K...]

.he's still the same player that had one of the worst playoff runs in championship history last year.

For someone who cares about stats its rather sad to hang your hat on this argument, Love the 20 game sample size, very career defining. Very astute to point out that defenses can shut down a point guard if they choose.

[SASdynasty!]

One of the worst playoff runs? Oh, the one where he led the Spurs in scoring and assists on 49% shooting throughout the playoffs?

Was loving his team play.
Interview afterwords, Parkers scoffing at the notion that some of his slump could have been mental. Not good.
If his slump was all injury, like Parker would like us to believe, he shouldn't have been playing.
Not buying.
I think he is still full of himself and needs to be monitored by Pop 2014 Championship version.
Great game today tho.

The Bulls without Rose, Butler and Gibson are a below average team, at best..they're probably worse than those Suns considering the Suns were @ home vs. the Spurs..

Just stop posting this lie over, and over, again.

I posted this earlier in the year, it remains pertinent:

"Parker did not have negative on/off metrics in the 2014 playoffs. Of the 23 playoff games, Parker had negative on/off numbers in 8 of them. Please don't be a tool and listen to tools, but refer to actual game-by-game stats:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/.../gamelog/2014/ (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/parketo01/gamelog/2014/)

These stats will show what informed posters have been saying for a while. Parker's issue has been consistency.

Parker as well had some excellent games in the 2014 playoffs, and there is no title without him. He was +32 in Game 2 against OKC. He was +20 in pivotal Game 5 against Dallas.

Except for Game 6 OKC, the Spurs lost every game in which TP9 had negative on/off numbers. So if that isn't perfect evidence the Spurs need a healthy TP, then then nothing is.

There is no question in my mind that Tony's inconsistency is health related. It is an open question as to whether he can regain his former speed (or get close enough). But to the doubters, remember how Manu looked with all his maladies and injuries since 2009. We thought he was completely done in 2013, and yet he had a strong 2014 and an amazing Finals and Semi-Finals."

Here's all I'm saying...Malik is making it sound like Parker had a negative +/- in the playoffs in 2014. Of course that's not true...he was +133 overall and +41 in the Finals. I think there are some people who actually think that the Spurs didn't build leads with Parker on the floor. We all get that our bench tended to outscore the other team's bench by more...so when you're Parker and are in rotation with Monta, Lilliard, Westbrook, and Lebron, the adjusted stat can be skewed. But Malik makes it sounds like the Spurs started losing the game when Parker was on the floor overall, which was obviously not the case in the playoffs or the Finals.

Depends on both the skills of the individual players around the PG and the positions the players are in when they get the ball. It's possible for the guy to be Boris Diaw out there with a bunch of ISO guys or non-passers like Green or Bonner.

[unleashbaynes]

Um, you're ignoring minutes played, and more importantly, I don't lean heavily on anything:lol..Parker's advanced metrics were all terrible in the playoffs, he ranked last or 2nd last in virtually every number among Spurs rotation players..

When I'm looking at these numbers, I'm not looking at them individually, nor am I looking at the individual leader, etc..I'm looking for notable numbers that stand out among everything, and Parker's BPM number stands out because it's behind the rest of the team by an astronomical amount, and it's historically bad for a player on a championship team..

What specific advanced metrics? Looking at the +/- he played ok in all the games the spurs won. Legit confused here.


also, what is BPM?

2014 Parker was .... starting PG..... on a title team .... I forgot..

Good point.

[Malik Hairston]

BPM is per 100 possessions. Do you really know how BPM works and what it stands for?

Comparing any advanced metric of a low-minute player to a high-minute player is always going to be flawed when extrapolating, regardless of whether it's measured by 100 possessions, obviously..

Parker's advanced on/off metrics from last year(any one that you choose) are all extremely bad when you compare him to the other Spurs' rotation players that played a similar amount of minutes as him, as well as played in similar 3/4/5-man units as him..it's not like I'm comparing him to Joseph, or even a fringe rotation player(in last year's playoffs) like Belinelli..

Even your beloved WS has him as a mediocre player last year, IIRC..

[Malik Hairston]

Splitter would have to be on his A-game to beat the Warriors, too..

Duncan was completely exposed in the 2013 series against them IIRC..it wouldn't be any different this time, Curry at the top is a matchup nightmare against any team with slow bigs, especially a big that can't exploit them on the offensive end(which Duncan can't do vs. Bogut)..

I know it happened quite often when he was our only go to guy but calling him that way all the time seems like diminishing what he accomplished...

I don't need to lose myself about it, I personaly don't care, but I find it pathetic that his own fan mock him on a regular basis

And btw I think Manu (who is my fav of the big3) was even more enrique-ish when he was the man...

anyway..

I have no arguments with Parker playing poorly last year, which he obviously did. The problem is your apparent misunderstanding of BPM.

Splitter wasn't a fringe player who played 3 minutes a game. He was a starter for parts of the playoffs and played critical roles in several series. The fact that he was above players like Kawhi and duncan showed how useless a stat BPM is.

Btw, I believe green was #2 on the team in BPM during the playoffs. Green played heavy minutes.
